Simply put, users can use Bitcoin to secure loans. DAO is an organisation that is designed to be automated and decentralised, which uses blockchain-based smart contracts to automated decision making and rules. BadgerDAO is built on the Ethereum platform and provides vaults where users can store their Bitcoin to earn yields based on market conditions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="DeFi hacks on the rise" comment="subhead" text="DeFi hacks on the rise">DeFi hacks on the rise</cmsannotation> BadgerDAO’s hack is not the first <keyword id="12101501" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="defi-hack" source="Orion">DeFi hack</keyword> of the year. The $120.3 million just adds to the already massive tally for the year. In August, virtual private network (VPN) platform AtlasVPN <a href="https://atlasvpn.com/blog/defi-related-hacks-account-for-76-of-all-major-hacks-in-2021">reported</a> that DeFi hacks accounted for 76% of all hacks between January and July 2021. The platform had recorded $129 million stolen in DeFi hacks during 2020, but noted that the number had more than doubled by Jule this year, to touch $361 million. Further, data from digital assets research firm The Block’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/crypto-defi-protocols-lost-1-4-billion-this-year-but-recovered-over-half-of-it/articleshow/87505660.cms">data dashboard</a> showed that DeFi protocols had lost $1.4 billion through exploits by November 3 this year. The good news, however, was that over half of the stolen money had also been recovered by the DAOs.

On Monday BitMart's CEO Sheldon Xia said that they discovered that the cryptocurrencies were withdrawn using a <a href="https://twitter.com/sheldonbitmart/status/1467722437735428098">stolen</a> private key which usually enables a user to access their <keyword id="11892695" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="cryptocurrency" source="Orion">cryptocurrency</keyword>."We have identified a large-scale security breach related to one of our ETH (ether) hot wallets and one of our BSC (binance smart chain) hot wallets, " Xia said on <a href="https://twitter.com/sheldonbitmart/status/1467316252855226368">Twitter</a>.PeckShield inc, a data analytics company said on Twitter Sunday $100 million was taken from the <a href="https://twitter.com/peckshield/status/1467302620000043013">ethereum network</a> and $96 million from the <a href="https://twitter.com/peckshield/status/1467310381073047552">binance smart chain</a> blockchain. The assets affected included meme coins floki inu and shiba inu, among several other altcoins. PeckShield inc. said that the money was stolen <a href="https://twitter.com/peckshield/status/1467318513971118083">using</a> a "pretty straightforward: transfer-out, swap, and wash" technique. After getting the funds out of BitMart, the hackers may have used a decentralized exchange aggregator to swap the stolen tokens for ether, according to PeckShield's tweet. Then the hacker could have deposited the funds into a privacy protocol, which makes the money difficult to trace.Xia had said on Twitter Sunday approximately $150 million was<a href="https://twitter.com/sheldonbitmart/status/1467316252855226368"> stolen </a>from the centralized global exchange that is based in the Cayman Islands and BitMart suspended withdrawals from its crypto wallets. He has since said the company hopes to gradually <a href="https://twitter.com/sheldonbitmart/status/1467722815071739909">resume</a> the deposit and withdrawal functions on December 7. Xia also said BitMart will use its own funding to <a href="https://twitter.com/sheldonbitmart/status/1467722582845702149">compensate</a> affected users and they were talking to project teams about the most reasonable solutions such as token swaps. BitMart is not the only exchange to be hacked using a private key. In early November, $139 million was taken from the Boy X Highspeed, decentralized cross-chain exchange. The company's CEO Neo Wang told CoinDesk this was due to a leaked administrator key and was probably an<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2021/11/01/139m-bxh-exchange-hack-was-the-result-of-leaked-admin-key/"> inside job</a>.
